"What's Going On? California and the Vietnam Era" Exhibition at the Great Hall, August 28, 2004-February 28, 2005.

This is an unused movie poster for the first Rambo movie "First Blood" starring Sylvester Stallone and Richard Crenna. In the center of the poster is Stallone wearing an army jacket and carrying a bed roll over his shoulder looking like a down and out Vietnam veteran. In the background on either side, is Stallone in full "Rambo" mode--shirtless with a piece of material tied around his forehead and very sweaty showing scars (war wounds) on his chest. Across the bottom of the poster is "Stallone" with "First Blood" in larger letters just under his name. Below the title are the credits for the actors, producer, director, etc. Stallone's entire name is listed twice on the credits, once as the star and once as one of the writers of the screenplay. His first name is misspelled where he's listed as the star.
